#

i miss dfa

#

i miss being playable

#

i miss not having to play the spec that aoes by sharting green onto the ground

sinful sluice
#

i got into mythic+ party and got kicked cuz he thought i was assa but actually was sub

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

short radish
#

100? you think we even have double digit numbers playing this spec?

steel horizon
pliant topaz
#

okay but like the tooltip numbner suggests that it is buffed

#

because prior to buff evis ~ 2.4 bp

#

after it shoulda been about 1.78

vale lagoon
pliant topaz
#

i compare tooltips, its 1.78

#

so the tooltipis buffed

#

but the damage in logs is not

#

there is no shot on 14 targets nimble does more than bp

vale lagoon
#

i mean yeah

#

i didn't exactly notice a dps increase in any keys

#

but i thought i just sucked too much at ds

short radish
#

ha

#

hahahahahaha

#

hahahahahahahhahahahaaaa

vale lagoon
#

im gonna see that shit in my dreams

short radish
#

you are dreaming

#

you will wake up

#

and sub is fine

#

bp is doing normal damage

teal night
#

And outlaw doesn't exist ?

vale lagoon
short radish
#

it's acutally kinda fucking wild that shit like this was only noticed 1.5 weeks later or something

#

because no one plays this spec

vale lagoon
#

i mean

#

there's also 0 clarity in the base game

#

like we would not know this if not for a fucking 3rd party addon program

#

in other games using 3rd party shit is considered cheating

#

meanwhile in this game 3rd party stuff is literally the life support for the fucking coma patient that is blizzard

pliant topaz
#

okay perfect.

#

this shows -> every cast was on 7 cps

#

i was in dance the entire duration

#

average hit was 181k

#

the tool tips is 186k

#

outside of dance

sullen hare
#

Sadly I agree with this as mindless as it was

wispy bolt
#

i said yesterday that we were doing less damage it felt like

#

in raid i was doing like 5% less damage

#

edited cause exagerating but still

left ledge
#

when my name was gloomblade enthusiast

#

we were crazy in aoe

#

unstoppable

#

literal helicopter

sullen hare
#

I do remember you being named that

left ledge
#

whats going on here

#

do i have to go back

short radish
#

please

#

i want to go back to 10.1

#

where i just spammed gloomblade

wispy bolt
vale lagoon
#

nah go back to 10.0, when we were shadow outlaw

sullen hare
#

I was going to try to go back to the fabled time the one guy had a conversation in here and I mentioned that I didn't really feel like anything needed to change

vale lagoon
#

flatline spec so i can do good in m+

sullen hare
#

When the rework was cooking

sullen hare
#

But I'm too full of yeast byproducts to internet efficiently

wispy bolt
#

are you saying the damage is buff is fucked or the tooltip is fucked?

pliant topaz
#

who cares

#

or why does it even matter

short radish
pliant topaz
#

its not doing the damage it says it does

#

either theres a bug thats reducing the damage

#

or tooltips wrong

#

no way to know

#

results the same

left ledge
#

enough is enough

#

stop killing my fucking spec

vale lagoon
wispy bolt
#

i said yesterday that it felt like we did less damage ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

left ledge
#

bill gates

vale lagoon
left ledge
#

fix this shit

wispy bolt
#

cant wait for more investigation

sullen hare
# left ledge fix this shit

I'm not gonna campaign for gloomblade spam to make a comeback but why'd they squeeze us on energy costs for both builders and spenders? They achieved the desired effect of bringing down apm

#

But at what cost Despairge

pliant topaz
sullen hare
#

No sht would be even worse

vale lagoon
#

wasn't there someone with a weird colored name in here a few days ago

#

saying we're dooming too much?

#

can someone @ that guy

sullen hare
#

I wouldn't know, I've been dooming forever

sullen hare
#

That one guy said we're an extraordinarily divisive breed of people if we're talking about the same person and he wasn't wrong

sinful sluice
#

how do you guys run sim on mythic+? do i just set 7 dummies or what

vale lagoon
sinful sluice
#

oki

sullen hare
vale lagoon
#

im talking one of the purple names?

#

are they the mods or what

#

i remember it hella clear bcuz i thought purple should be the sub color lol

sullen hare
#

They're just more purple than the average rogue

#

Fuu is in here all the time and is orange if that helps

vale lagoon
#

does being more purple mean that they are even more of an asshat

#

bcuz that guy seemed a little unkind and disingenuous

sullen hare
#

Colors are well explained in the server FAQ pretty sure

sweet summit
#

fuu like whipyr died for our sins and used cheat death to leave the tomb a week later

#

the goat

sullen hare
#

In case you need a refresher

short radish
#

it will be on the test

#

make sure you read up

vale lagoon
#

im not used to mods and "leadership" being 2 groups lol

#

ig i gotta be in more big servers

old venture
#

orange isn't leadership

#

we're just the internet janitors

vale lagoon
#

yeah i just saw that purple is leadership

#

but orange is mods

sullen hare
#

Feel free to wow general me oxi I've earned it

sweet summit

#

i'm worried about you

#

please talk to a loved one

#

pet a cat or something

sullen hare
#

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

vale lagoon
#

pls dont hurt me

sullen hare
#

Always assume it's bugged until proven otherwise in a pin

sinful sluice
#

wait so BP 35% is actually not live yet?

vale lagoon
sullen hare
#

Attaboy

short radish
sinful sluice
#

idk if i should be happy or sad

#

cuz this dogshit can get 35% stronger from now

pliant topaz
#

can it?

#

nimble is also doing 40% instead of 50?

#

did it get fixed?

#

not in 11.0

sinful sluice
#

it did not?

pliant topaz
#

not ni 11.0.5

#

so like?

sinful sluice
#

so what

#

are we doomed

old venture
pliant topaz
#

specs gonna stay what it is

old venture
sinful sluice
#

do they not care about sub.....

pliant topaz
#

just a lot worse gameplay wise

old venture
#

ngl

pliant topaz
#

also pretty sure m+ is gonna be even worse

old venture
#

idk if its a lot worse gameplay wise

pliant topaz
#

cuz tricksters turbo dead

old venture
#

it'll feel worse I think

#

but not a lot worse

#

realistically dust was fucking ass to play around

sinful sluice
#

wait how long has it been dead

old venture
#

but they also did fuck all to the spec because of dust

#

so you know

sinful sluice
#

i was running trickster for everything

pliant topaz
sullen hare
#

So that makes the dust changes a net gain for you

pliant topaz
#

in 10.2 it was aweful though

sullen hare
#

Disagree it feels exactly the same now as it did then

pliant topaz
#

but also, if they actually either fucked up the buff, or theres another bug we dont know of, thats killing DS aoe

#

and trickster is getting nuked

old venture
pliant topaz
#

then like, somehow m+ is gonan be worse

#

LMFAO

old venture
#

having to adjust timings every single night

pliant topaz
#

that caused it

old venture
#

bro m+ sub has been dogshit for a long time

sullen hare
#

Killing dust now will give devs time to make us good enough for the last raid of the expansion

pliant topaz
#

1.5 min on uses meant good gameplay

pliant topaz
#

like im fine with dust being gone, but like yea...

old venture
#

ye they def need to adjust some shit and fix a ton of other shit

#

removing dust and giving us 2 charges of symbols is fucking stupid

#

because 2 charges of symbols would've made dust legit fine to play

#

lmfao

sullen hare
sweet summit
#

rework i respec outlaw irl and pistol shot myself between the eyes

old venture
#

but we all kinda expected dust to die

sweet summit
#

or i*

old venture
#

the higher end players hated it because it became a chore

left ledge
old venture
#

and the lower end players couldn't even utilize it properly

left ledge
old venture
#

just like by design dust was destined to fail

left ledge
#

i miss when dust was just for prepulling

#

with tomes

old venture
#

the SL ๐Ÿง€

short radish
#

no

old venture
#

classic

short radish
#

not that cursed tech

#

do not bring it back

#

with the 30 second pull timer garbo respec

left ledge
#

yeah who made that shit

#

fucking sicko

short radish
old venture
#

there was that other cursed sL tech

#

where you'd vanish with the leggo for the buff

#

and then swap back

left ledge
#

yeah deathly shadows

old venture
#

yeah that one lmfao

left ledge
#

then they nerfed it

#

and some dumbass spent a whole night

old venture
#

and a boomkin prepull would just cuck them

#

LMFAO

left ledge
#

making a shadowdust prepull

#

with 3 macros

#

and tomes

old venture
#

real talk

wind canopy
old venture
#

why wasn't edge of night a sub talent

#

how the fuck did hunter get the sylv bow

short radish
#

sure loved playing with this on my screen for a whole fight to remind me how stupid i am

#

or that aa boomkin pulled at 2 seconds instead of at 0

sweet summit
#

why did outlaw get killing spree

old venture
sweet summit
#

ill cry about it forever

old venture
#

outlaw's had killing spree forever

#

no one took it because it was dogshit

sweet summit
#

its a flavor fail

#

i just want the animation

#

on sub

old venture
#

KS was sick in WOTLK

#

stack armor pen

sweet summit
#

its so obviously a sub rogue animation

sullen hare
pliant topaz
#

so we got goremaw instead

sweet summit
#

then again nothing feels right on outlaw because that whole spec is a flavor fail

sullen hare
sweet summit
old venture
sweet summit
#

i want its animation

old venture
wispy bolt
#

my gpu drivers just crashed on an 11 siege that was extra tiomable

#

sweet summit
old venture
pliant topaz
#

old venture
#

left ledge

old venture
#

lmao

#

I remember coming in here when you did that

#

and was like

short radish
#

why is it always sub

#

that has these cursed techs

pliant topaz
#

okay but hemo sounds aweful LMFAO

short radish
#

i swear the other specs never have anything like this

pliant topaz
#

theres like so many cooler things we could get tbh

old venture
pliant topaz
#

but im not going down that path

old venture
#

bro I miss shadowlands

#

and after 160 wipes

#

these motherfuckers go

#

"hey do you wanna be benched for this?"

sullen hare
#

Yes

short radish
#

im so happy i was benched for anduin

old venture
#

like yeah I did 4 weeks ago

#

now I want this kill

short radish
#

legit best part about having 2 rogues is getting to spend time on the bench

#

now one of our rogues had to roll DK

left ledge
short radish
#

so no bench Sadge

old venture
#

that's the last time I had a real rogue friend

left ledge
#

and everybody said

old venture
left ledge
#

"ok no more prepulls"

old venture
#

@low gull I miss you king

left ledge
#

but that was during my dangerous era

#

that was when i was making gloomblade one shots in pvp

#

short radish
#

old venture
#

you were legit the definition of a rat in SL

i enjoyed it

old venture
#

and having tanks pull a bunch of shit onto bosses

left ledge
#

ugh dude

old venture
#

for the free CP generation

left ledge
#

non bolstering weeks

#

#

#

because shuriken combo

left ledge
#

you know, although prepulls like that were a bit too cursed

old venture
#

COME BACK TO ME MY SWEET

left ledge
#

i feel like blizz actively goes out of their way to ban anything creative

pliant topaz
#

old venture
#

goremaw aint new either

sullen hare
#

Nah ain't new

pliant topaz
#

#

old venture
#

that was just the thing you pressed because it came with your legendary weapons

#

yes

pliant topaz
#

jokes on you then

sullen hare
#

Just kinda yesterday's news

vale lagoon
#

...i still feel like flurry on sub + inev is SO cool

old venture
#

it wasn't even a talent

left ledge
#

WRONG

#

WRONG

#

PV WAS ACTUALLY GOATED IN SL

vale lagoon
#

even if it's capped and bugged to hell

left ledge
#

AND I REMEMBER

vale lagoon
#

unironically

left ledge
#

I WAS THE ONLY FUCKER PLAYING IT

#

WE FOUND OUT WAY LATER IT WAS GOATED

old venture
left ledge
#

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

#

it SLAPPED

#

idk what the fuck this version of PV is

old venture
#

real talk the soulbinds were actually sick as fuck too

left ledge
#

yeah if they just unlocked everything at the start

#

holy shit

#

it wouldve been so good

old venture
#

there was so much good in SL that was just shit on by needless friction

left ledge
#

if legos werent gold sink

old venture
#

like conduit energy

left ledge
#

and take 10 years

pliant topaz
sullen hare
#

Having 1 or 2 per faction was pretty dope halfway through the expansion

left ledge
#

if you could swap in and out of conduits and soulbinds

old venture
#

remember when literally every player of every skill level was like "yeah this is bad"

#

and they were like NO ITS NOT

#

ITS GOOD

#

then when they FINALLY removed it

#

they went "We still think it was the right call, but we're removing it"

#

like oh okay

left ledge
#

wait for what

#

conduit energy?

old venture
#

conduit energy

#

yeah

#

they tripled down on it in the blue post

left ledge
#

yeah that thing was

old venture
#

LMFAO

left ledge
#

their reasoning

#

was so stupid

#

its unreal

old venture
#

idk if you played SL beta

#

but conduits were 1 use

#

if they didn't change the original version

#

you woulda had to refarm them

#

lmfao

left ledge
#

why tf would you want your players to feel like their "choices are meaningful" by forcing them into playing only ST

#

oh i wanna do m+ now

#

fuck you buddy

#

you dont get to

old venture
#

I was actually on my glad grind

#

and I ran out of conduit energy

#

so I was like yeah fuck this

left ledge
old venture
#

and I just stopped

#

I got to like 2300

#

I was legit right there

#

sullen hare
old venture
#

left ledge
#

old venture
#

SL was poised to be so sick man

#

then they ruined torghast

left ledge
#

i made every rogue play gloomblade one shot

old venture

sullen hare
left ledge
#

#

old venture
#

REMEMBER DOMINATION SHARDS

left ledge

old venture
#

stygian embers

left ledge
#

old venture
#

#

#

unannounced

#

thanks jeff hamilton

#

good system

#

omg I'm getting angry about it again

#

4 years later

left ledge
#

yeah idk shadowlands had some insanely shit systems

#

but the gameplay was actually not bad

old venture
#

the dungeons outside of sanguine depths

left ledge
#

(after flag rework ofc)

old venture
#

were actually fun

wind canopy
#

I miss dom shards...

old venture
#

alright someone ban this guy

wind canopy
#

#

(I hated them all)

old venture
#

tazavesh was sick

#

wdym

left ledge
#

after nerfs yeah

wind canopy
#

Taz was fine, sure

left ledge
#

it was very not sick before nerfs

wind canopy
#

Forgot about them

old venture
#

lmao gambit was undoable

#

pre nerf

wind canopy
#

Yeah

old venture
#

and streets was undoable on fort weeks

#

you'd just get one shot by the trash

#

my fav SL dungeon moment

#

25 tyrannical TOP

#

me and the hunter finished the pvp 2s too early

#

we land

#

xav jumps

#

and we both just died

wind canopy
#

TOP? Fuck that. NW? Hated it. DOS? Yeah, I love 45 minute dungeons.

old venture
#

NW pre-master assassin nerf

#

#

100% crit onthe weapons?

left ledge
#

OH DUDE

#

THE FACT

#

THEY NERFED

#

MA THERE

#

IS SO DUMB

old venture
#

funny enough

#

they forgot the whitelist the crit buff fire mage had

#

so fire mages always got spears after that

uneven scarab
left ledge
#

yeah i mean

old venture
#

hero class

#

wcyd

left ledge
#

thats kinda similar to what happened to us in DF

#

remember

edgy zenith
#

I just got transmitter finally, does the orb not always spawn NE anymore?

uneven scarab
#

Golden child babygirl

left ledge
#

they announced they were gonna remove trinkets scaling off of talent damage amps

#

but then only removed it for sub rogue

edgy zenith
#

seemed like the traveling orb (not the platform) spawned SW instead of NE tonight

uneven scarab
edgy zenith
#

also, 4.5min into fight, am I sending mandate or transmitter with that set of CDs?

#

sims are saying to use mandate, but I don't believe that

left ledge
#

not actually NE

edgy zenith
#

maybe because I was too close to edge?

left ledge
#

were you too close to the edge

#

yes

edgy zenith
#

so it just sent it in a random spot

#

ahh

#

okay

left ledge
#

if you stand too close to the edge

#

it spawns a little off to the side

#

and travels in an arc

edgy zenith
#

kk

#

any mandate and transmitter users? 4.5m cd set help

#

both trinkets come up same time

#

sims say to send mandate instead of transmitter for that CD set

left ledge
#

popping cds = transmitter

edgy zenith
#

but I'm not sure if that's just robot being stupid

left ledge
#

are you simming 5 mins or something

royal zinc
#

could sum1 help a brand new rogue and pvp scrub with my opener? i'm using palumor's

edgy zenith
#

i guess there's no if cd's less than 10s and both cds up line in the APL

#

nope, 6min

nimble burrow
#

lets goooooo

left ledge
royal zinc
#

no pvp

left ledge
#

this is pretty much only pve

sterile kiln
edgy zenith
#

okay, I simmed again for 6min and it sent transmitter

#

false alarm

nimble burrow
#

i have a question

#

when should we use transmitter?

sullen hare
#

Forgive me for the poorly cropped screenshot

#

All of those actions happen more or less at the same time

nimble burrow
#

oh my bad!

spark tusk
nimble burrow
#

ty brothers

sweet summit
#

#

#

it was working fine

#

noticed 2 days ago id press it it would send sectec but not coldblood

#

and yes i am specced into coldblood

vale lagoon
#

typo in macro?

#

kek

pliant topaz
#

either the macros not on your stealth bar or you went sin fatebound into the inevitability hero talent (the one with cold blood) and swapped bac

sweet summit
#

oh shit u think it broke when i switched to DS ?

pliant topaz
#

not deathstalker

#

Fatebound

sweet summit
#

hmm

#

i c

short radish
#

sweet summit
#

nah armin was right with the swap thingy

#

i had it on both bars fs

wispy bolt
#

TT says 149k. Hits for 108k. No buffs, no find weakness, nothing

#

unless the combo point WA is fucked, i hit with all 7

#

thats if we trust the TT

short radish
#

we dont trust the TT

wispy bolt
#

edited cause i screwed the number. But thats a 37% difference. very close to what the buff said OMEGAKEKW

#

wait its phys damage, is armor 38%?

#

and does this dummy have armor

brave gyro
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
distant marlin
#

Hi, what is recommended m+ build after patch?

wispy bolt
#

Assassination rogue

alpine wraith
#

deathstalker something like this

#

still pending more reviews

#

maybe tornado instead of veilt but tornado is quite annoying

cloud rover
wispy bolt
#

1.7 mil vs 1.1 mil avg. literal S vs F. itโ€™s a no brainer

alpine wraith
#

sub is also super group dependang

#

if you dont have a shaman and tank does not pull well

#

oh true

I'm gonna keep doing it until mount

easy 5 crests

#

alts are insta ready

alpine wraith

you mean my 23 enchanting mules?

cloud rover
#

Yes

alpine wraith
#

nah they are doing fine

#

some of them are even 590

cloud rover
#

Insane

keen dome
#

Haha, nice

#

And yeah, the crests own because Delves give the spark halves. So you can very quickly get a dude geared in multiple 619 pieces

#

My second rogue was in three 619 pieces the second he hit 80, it was hilarious. Everything else? 560 or less.

Are there any notes for sub changes next week?

sinful finch
#

Can anyone tell me if they are making Sub anymore viable in M+ in 11.05? Love sub, playing sin at the moment.

alpine wraith
#

nope

void hound
#

yeah the notes say: play sin bozo

vale pine
#

outside of this, we get a new talent

keen dome
#

We should have a moment of silence for Sepsis surviving so long for some strange reason.

#

the little talent that we wish wouldn't

sacred yarrow
#

it was just fluff, what else would they add there /s

vale pine
#

๐Ÿ™ƒ

sinful finch
#

So basically, sub will be ST masters again in 11.05?

lilac stag
#

Master of none.

vale pine
#

but its unclear if you can bring this extra sim dps to the raid

#

its like 3% dps

#

in sims

sinful finch
#

Ohโ€ฆ.. man this is so lackluster

near rivet
#

the state of bugs will tell

vale pine
#

!dot5

wicked joltBOT
#

The power level of the spec stays about the same but the changes are generally a downgrade.
Things that get worse in the patch:

  • Talent diversity
  • Defensives
  • Gameplay
    This does not meant he patch is bad, just that it isn't a great update to Subtlety.
vale pine
#

^ is the current tl;dr

sinful finch
#

What an actual shame. What is happening to rogueโ€ฆโ€ฆ

near rivet
#

in .5 sub will prob be way worse in court, right?

vale pine
#

the other 2 specs get a small update

#

thats more positive

alpine wraith
#

not way worse but a bit worse

sinful finch
#

Yeah, outlaw has bugs that still are yet to be addressed. I mean I like Sin but I wish Sub was moreโ€ฆ you knowโ€ฆ. The main spec

near rivet
#

we are missing some amp windows, right?

#

i mean, we could play them more with memedust

alpine wraith
#

not really

#

actually if you exploit some things on the krangle dances you can do more dmg now on the amp

sinful finch
alpine wraith
#

but i will have to be there to try it

alpine wraith
#

cant really do that one on ptr

vale pine
#

i think the updates are good qol changes for the other 2 specs

near rivet
#

by krangle dances you mean tfd?

vale pine
#

so don't think its bad

alpine wraith
#

no it will be in a thing i will do

#

but idk how it will pan out

near rivet
#

we wont hit x2 sectec in one amp window, thats for sure

sinful finch
# vale pine so don't think its bad

Well, I agree a buff is a buff. But Outlaw should at this point be deleted and rehashed combat rogue should be reintroduced. Sin is in a good place and has been all season so far. Sub is justโ€ฆ. I donโ€™t knowโ€ฆ.

plush roost
#

Outlaws fun wdym

#

Pewpew gun

sinful finch
#

I always had the feeling outlaw should have been a ranged rogue class. Like a gunslinger.

vale pine
#

outlaws main problem currently is

#

that they didn't re-work KS

sinful finch
plush roost
#

^ just make it like dh blade dance

#

Is it that hard

vale pine
#

because its a core component of Trickster

near rivet
#

i know im weird, bbut i kinda like KS

vale pine
#

I don't think all 3 specs having BF is a problem

near rivet
#

when i outlaw occassionally

vale pine
#

i don't think re-stealth is a problem

sinful finch
#

Trickster looks on paper really fun. But KS is an absolute bummer

plush roost
sinful finch
vale pine
#

see

#

current season is tough

#

and as such people pull smaller

near rivet
#

im not aware of the bugs, but camera is not an argument for me, never had issue with that jumps

vale pine
#

so re-stealthing isn't a big issue

vale pine
#

it feels weir to have shadowstep like camera jumps

#

even feels weird on shadowstep

sinful finch
#

Iโ€™m not sure. In +10โ€™s we are pulling quite high. +11 and above yeah itโ€™s a little scuffed.

plush roost
#

One shadowstep camera swap is fine to me

#

But 5 in a row is like ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

vale pine
#

you can typically re-stealth well between packs

#

and a easy way to make a spec less reliant on restealths

#

is to give a lower vanish cooldown

sinful finch
#

When crackshot works as intended yeah it will probably be pretty decent

vale pine
#

could even move all stealth benefits to vanish

sinful finch
#

Also Subterfuge is going to work with Take em by Surprise

#

So thatโ€™s going to be a bonus

vale pine
#

11.0.5 is a big qol patch

#

so yes

#

it won't fix core problems

#

e.g. Killing spree did not get reworked

sinful finch
#

It will make dying whilst adrenaline is on CD less taxing

vale pine
#

but a lot of good updates

#

its just that subtleties "qol" updates

#

did not work out

#

and i think its difficult to sit down and think

#

"that did not work out well"

sinful finch
#

Do I think that outlaw will be competitive in higher keys? Hmmmm depends on the comp. But, at this present time I would say 9/10 youโ€™d take sin rogue for prio damage.

vale pine
#

i think assassiantions tuning

#

and benefits

#

make it rly hard for any other rogue spec to see play in m+

sinful finch
#

Yeah. This is the problem with having 3 of the same variation spec

clever delta
#

wait what, the patch is next week

vale pine
#

else you would just pick your personal favorite

#

but thats actually good design usually

sinful finch
#

I would have much preferred Outlaw to be a mid to short range gunslinger spec. Meets the fantasy and also splits the variation.

vale pine
#

to have specs do diffrent niches

#

its just that the balance of what niches each spec has

#

and how much applications these niches have

#

was poorly balanced out

sinful finch
#

RTB is to imo bad class design.

vale pine
#

for m+

#

outlaw with a more flat damage profile

#

can be rly good

#

if the numbers are there

#

for raid, we have diffrent problems

#

rtb isn't as much a problem as you think

near rivet
#

can it be even more flat?

vale pine
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
plush roost
vale pine
#

thats quite flat already

sinful finch
#

Sim baits on outlaw are real. The chances of hitting these numbers without pretty consistent RNG is lackluster. Plus now KiR is basically the way to go you are rolling even lessโ€ฆ.

plush roost
vale pine
#

its the median

#

so you can absolutely hit these numbers

near rivet
#

SS procs is the real rng

vale pine
#

but i think the problem is, you will be sometimes below

near rivet
#

not some meme dice

vale pine
#

and thats what you will remember

plush roost
#

With CTO being such good chance, KiR is almost always 4+ buffs so its pretty consistent

sinful finch
vale pine
#

the data don't say otherwise

#

its just that raid design is not a flat

#

target dummy like experience

#

you have more constraints

#

some fights have burst aoe, so classes that do a lot of it are good

#

some fights have damage amp phases, classes with burst do good

#

there is spread cleave

#

etc.

#

outlaw has due to not rtb

#

but this node

#
#

if you complain about outlaw

#

that should be your complain

#

not RTB

sinful finch
#

The only real boss in the Mythic raid I have switched to outlaw on request has been brood due to the damage profile. Other than that. Sin will be the prio.

vale pine
#

well yes, sin is currently also better tuned than others

plush roost
vale pine
#

if we only discuss power level

#

there is currently no reason to ever spec out of assassination

#

reguardless of content

sinful finch
plush roost
#

Ah i figured that was the case. I do think its strange they'd make you swap when thats better suited to things like fdk though

#

But hey, maybe the comp needs it

#

My guild is just getting into p3 of brood so I'm probably gonna experience the same thing xd

sinful finch
#

Depends on the composition right. I mean, a friend of mine cleared it in his mythic guild being on sin quite easily but our comp is different and โ€œdoes damageโ€ in different ways

#

Not saying it cannot be done in our comp. In fact, I could have easily target swapped if necessary on Sin but I see why the RL needed me to change

vale pine
#

but thats not a bad thing

plush roost
#

Yeah makes sense

vale pine
#

having outlaw as a option for the fight is good

#

so it kinda shows how niches and diffrences should play out

#

it is just that some specs might need more niches

#

then more reasons you put to switch spec, then better

#

just need to make sure that no spec has a niche which is too good always

plush roost
#

It would be really nice if they didn't make haste good on 2 specs but useless on 1 though xd

#

Sucks gearing for all 3 specs rn

vale pine
#

it has also other problems

#

Haste is more recently a very common factor

#

in raid and dungeon mechanics

#

e.g. you have sark with a big haste buff

#

had a massive amount of haste in pandaria remix

#

now have a affix with haste

sinful finch
#

I wish people would have told me about the BTE bug before I swapped ๐Ÿคฃ

vale pine
#

so being bad with hast gives you the problem that you can't utilize these buffs well

#

your benefits from BL are reduced

#

and you are a bad PI target

#

it is in a sense a net negative

sinful finch
#

Would you agree there is a great deal of discourse between rogue players at the moment about the specs

vale pine
#

it is similar to the old problem of subtlety

#

which is terrible in cleaave

#

so any time you have 2 or 3 target cleave

#

you couldn't bring it

#

means even when subtlety was the dominant raid spec

plush roost
#

Thank god for trickster

vale pine
#

you had active reasons to switch to sin/outlaw

#

problem is people precive it diffrently

#

so depending on who you talk to

#

the asumption/discussion might have diffrent outcomes

#

iirc it was in the #assassination chat i was having the discussion in SL

#

and a common response was

sinful finch
vale pine
#

"There are no real world scenarios cleave is relevant in"

#

pointing out that there are no raid fights with 2 or 3 target cleave and wherent for years

#

and how mythic+ will always pull more than 5

#

if thats the case or not

sinful finch
#

If they fix KS i will probably main OL

vale pine
#

i can't tell, looking back i also don't remember any raid fight in SL/DF that has 2 target cleave...

#

(i forgot experiments)

#

Hi. Where do I find the upcoming sub rogue changes that I hear change our cooldown reduction talent?

plush roost
#

Check pins

sinful finch
#

Are there people that even play sub in M+ on a level?

fallow nimbus
#

Every tier has the same style of fights

vale pine
#

but otuside of that

#

basically: we get a new talent in the general tree

plush roost
vale pine
#

supercharger, it adds combo points

#

it does not give more combo points than ER

#

in fact less

#

but

#

we get it during cooldowns, and they add on top of our combo points

#

so if you finish on 7 it would count as 9

sinful finch
fallow nimbus
#

Minigame gone is the good part

vale pine
#

also they fixed coup not giving cdr

#

so thats it

livid hawk
#

Thanks man! Are we excited about it?

vale pine
#

!dot5

The power level of the spec stays about the same but the changes are generally a downgrade.
Things that get worse in the patch:

  • Talent diversity
  • Defensives
  • Gameplay
    This does not meant he patch is bad, just that it isn't a great update to Subtlety.
plush roost
vale pine
#

we can be excited about the new talent

#

but overall, we will see

#

still working on the sim with eleem and armin

sinful finch
#

Precise Cuts now increases Blade Flurryโ€™s damage by 4% per missing target below its max (was 2%).

#

Do you think this will be used?

livid hawk
#

Ah okay. Do you know where I can find the patch notes for it? I seem to be bad at googling for this exact round of notes.

brisk onyx
#

wait, so the changes we got in 11.0.5 have been discontinued?

sacred yarrow
vale pine
#

5 days you mean

plush roost
#

Tbh this feels like the actual release patch for tww. A lot of the half baked specs and hero talents got updated

#

Sub is just downbad

vale pine
#

we will manage

sinful finch
plush roost
#

Sub always finds a way

vale pine
#

kinda

sacred yarrow
#

there are dozens of us!

sinful finch
#

Rogue always finds a way

vale pine
#

i am more concerned about the state of gameplay

#

tuning can be done in 11.1

plush roost
#

I remember people doomed on sub during early access - heroic week

#

Then it was swinging through anyway

vale pine
#

i mean

#

what you mean with swinging through

#

is

#

subtlety is currently the least played dps spec in game

ornate wind
#

people always act like anything outside of the top 3 specs are unplayable, I just ignore them and keep doing fine

vale pine
#

in both raiding and mythic+

#

soooo

plush roost
#

Hey i didnt say it was popular, i said it was good lol

vale pine
#

it is also probably the worse or one of the worse m+ specs

livid hawk
#

But pvp it has its relevance. Esp in the new blitz mode

ornate wind
#

sub in pvp is just always going to be good

vale pine
#

depends how well the 11.0.5 changes work

#

11.0.5 removes dust

livid hawk
#

Hope they manage to tune it separately

vale pine
#

which was rly good in pvp

ornate wind
#

doesn't matter if our damage is complete crap, we just have so much control. And our damage is, in fact, not complete crap

sinful finch
#

There is a lot more than damage that makes up a tier list. But thatโ€™s what people see. They go on warcraft logs. See their class is low on damage. But they donโ€™t deep dive and find out that their class is low parsing.

vale pine
#

so we lose defensives

#

and offensives

#

e.g. soothing darkness is now roughly half of what it did before

sinful finch
#

Rogue itself is not in a bad spot. The benefit of having 3 dps specs is at least one of them is going to perform okayish.

vale pine
#

you can't reset cloak/etc with dust

#

means less dynamic

vale pine
#

i am not concerned about damage, but gameplay

plush roost
#

I just hope they have a backup planned for sub if these changes don't work out (they don't have one)

#

They look sketchy gameplay wise I agree

livid hawk
#

But would be nice to have cooldowns separated from vanish, so vanish is vanish as an independent ability. Just hoped everything around it is tuned accordingly

vale pine
sinful finch
#

Half the time what you see on Warcraft logs is completely fabricated and saturated by those who have overinflated their parses to give the impression the class is doing better than what it is.

vale pine
#

i mean sure

#

rogue is good as long as one spec is good

#

i just don't like the line of argumentation

#

because what you mean is not this

#

but

#

that its irrelevant if a spec is worse in gameplay, design or tuning because others exist

plush roost
vale pine
#

heroic/normal possibly

#

if you look at 90%tile

#

or 100%tile

#

the top logs will have very unrealistic kill timers

#

for most of the playerbase

#

and if you kill a boss in 2 min less

#

you will do more dps

ornate wind
#

I think I just lean more towards subtlety because I'm a ff14 player mainly and it feels very similar to their class design

vale pine
#

but it is true that warcraftlogs

ornate wind
#

1 min burst window, maintenance and spam dps in between, I'm comfy with this

plush roost
#

I to be clear, am just referring to mythic. Heroic and normal parses have very different results on kill timers and group skill

vale pine
#

falsifies the statistic

#

tho

#

you can just look at popualrity

#

to get a better picture

alpine wraith
#

even on 1 min or 2 min kill timers

#

sub is doing 600 k less dps

sinful finch
alpine wraith
#

than enha

#

so idk

#

tried to find a sub on sik ran

#

he was 722

#

our top log btw

#

in hc

#

in M it is even funnier

plush roost
#

Yeah that fight is god awful for sub tho

alpine wraith
#

nexus princess is worse

#

and those 2 are the st fights

#

so where else can you see st

leaden prairie
#

brood

alpine wraith
#

rasha nan is even funnier from specs that get to execute

plush roost

#

Love to find a new, strange bug. Weekly dungeon quest just refused to give me Reputation and decided to give me the repeat completion rewards.

plush roost
lilac stag
#

You can look at parses for boss dmg

plush roost
#

But being able to discern inflated logs from legitimate ones is a valuable tool, so wcl is not completely useless
